Growing up soo fast....

In the last 2-3 days I have watched my 2 "little babies" start to do things on their own...they are starting to not need me as much, and as a good parent I know these times are going to come, but it is happening all too quickly for me!

The other night we went out to dinner with my in-laws and Gabe needed to use the restroom, so I took him in he told me he wanted to go in by himself so I waited outside the door to see if he needed any help, and reminded him to make sure he remembered to flush and I get "I know mom." It was time to wash his hands and he wanted to do that by himself also.

My Sophia says "Hi", "Da Da", "Ma Ma" and "Ba Ba" (for bottle), she is waving bye-bye now and also crawls to me and rubs her eyes which is her clue to me that it is time for nap or bed. After wanting her to sleep thru the night...now that she does I kindof miss our early mornings together...

These parts of live are very bittersweet, and although I know these days must come it is hard for me as a mother to let go...
